Flying-fox Forum Summary

The 3rd National Flying-fox Forum was held in Cairns on the 8th November and was attended by 84 delegates from all levels of government, non-government organisations, consultancies and community groups.

The forum aimed to take a regional focus on flying-fox research and management, while also learning new ways to effectively engage the community on flying-fox issues.

Dr David Westcott from CSIRO, Land and Water delivered the keynote address, followed by national updates by representatives from Department of Environment and Science (QLD), Office of Environment and Heritage (NSW), Government of South Australia (SA AND University of Melbourne (VIC).

The forum involved presentations by community, government and rescue organisations that explored a range of topics, including community attitudes towards flying-foxes, Hendra virus research updates and aviation strike risk.

A facilitated workshop was also run to deliver tools for effective community engagement. The forum included an optional field trip to Tolga Bat Hospital on the 9th November, lead by Jenny Mclean from Tolga Bat Rescue and Research.
